Today I'd like to share a Christmas Art Journal Page with you. For
this page I started by covering the pages with gesso and played with my
Gelatos to create a basic background. I used the Gelatos Lemon,
Tangerine, Red Cherry, Snow Cone and Metallic Mint. To create the white
stars on the left I used one of my favourite Gelato techniques: I wiped
away the Gelato color through a stencil with a wet baby wipe. The
white snowflakes on the right are doodled with a white pen. To finish
my background I stamped some images of the Pines Fir Yew stamp set and
the Winter Wonderland stamp set from Rubber Dance. I used my Stamper's
Big Brush Pen (turquoise) and my Archival Ink Pads (Jet Black and
Monarch Orange).

I
printed the "Warm Winter Wishes" with my PC - the font is called "Head
Case". Another option would be to handwrite the words on your own. My
handwriting is not the best, so I prefer printing it. I cut the words
out, colored the pieces with Distress Ink "spiced marmalade" and drew a
border arround every word.

For
the two snowmen I cut out some circles of old book paper and build my
frostys by adhering the circles to the page. I sketched them with a
black PITT Artist Pen. A nice feature of the PITT Pens is, that you can
smear the color at the beginning because it does not dry immediately! I
add also some Gelato coconut to draw the snowmen white.

Oooops, I don't know how I missed commenting on this one, Susanne ....even if I have already thanked your for it on my blog where it was also posted, again - THANK YOU for using my stamps on this lovely spread! It is really, really pretty and I love the vibrant colors, and of course your cool snowmen :-)XOX
